The U.S. has put together a STRONG bid w/ Canada & Mexico for the 2026 World Cup. It would be a shame if countries that we always support were to lobby against the U.S. bid. Why should we be supporting these countries when they don’t support us (including at the United Nations)?

A Rigged System - They don’t want to turn over Documents to Congress. What are they afraid of? Why so much redacting? Why such unequal “justice?” At some point I will have no choice but to use the powers granted to the Presidency and get involved!

Let’s say you’ve spent the last few years following an agreement that prevents you from attaining a nuclear weapon that you made with the United States and its allies. Your proof of this is repeated verification, per the agreement, by the International Atomic Energy Agency. And your reward for this is that United States is about to break this agreement and demand that crushing sanctions be re-implemented on your country.

Now let’s say you’re a rogue nuclear power that has been testing your hydrogen weapons while also working on the capability to strike North America with intercontinental ballistic missiles. Meanwhile you’ve also been taunting and threatening the United States and its allies. Your reward for this? The first meeting with the president of the United States in the history of your country, the wettest dream of your father and grandfather.

The lesson of all this is pretty obvious: You better have a nuclear weapon.

It seems highly plausible that Broidy was bribing Trump with a $1.6m hush money payment to one of the many women Trump has slept with. And supposedly impregnated (we know Trump likes it unprotected), but given that there's no lovechild claim, presumably she had an abortion (at Trump's behest? it would certainly explain why she was paid so much more than the other payoffs we've heard about).

The evidence is pretty clear that Trump is vulnerable to blackmail about sexual secrets, despite the common narrative that he has no shame and would not care. I wonder if that could be relevant to anything...

It's unfortunate we don't have the Dutch purity pony around to tell us about how Hillary Clinton would've torn up the Iran deal a year ago and nuked Tehran by now.

The evidence was staring us in the face: Trump campaigning on the Iran deal being "the worst deal ever drawn up by anybody", Clinton praising the deal as part of her campaign. It was always obvious who was more likely to tear it up and escalate tensions with Iran: Hillary Clinton.

WASHINGTON — Speaking to a crowd of military spouses on Wednesday, President Donald Trump incorrectly claimed that his administration gave service members their first pay raise in 10 years, a moment he was “proud” to oversee.

In fact, troops have seen a pay raise of at least 1 percent every year for more than 30 years. The 2018 military pay raise — which was 2.4 percent — was the largest for the armed forces in eight years.
